IC INFORMATION. Emet-Selch (true name: Hades) AGE: Hundreds or thousands of years old. Hopefully the lore book will shed some more light on this subject next month. CANON: Final Fantasy XIV CANON POINT: Elpis After locating and surrounding Meteion, but before things go completely sour. He'd just pointed out to Hermes that the question and the mission he gave to his creation was flawed, after they learn of the dead civilizations the Meteia witnessed. All of which is to say he comes in pre-villain arc, with all of his memories of Elpis up until that point intact..
ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: Emet-Selch is one of fourteen representatives of his world's governing body, his duties being those that involve the Underworld (ie. aetherial sea or afterlife) and his ability to see souls. He's a powerful mage (or was before the power nerf) and spends much of his free time wrangling his two gremlin friends. At first meeting, he can be quite prickly and grumpy, but one will soon learn that he's a rather sentimental sort who will cave to the whims of others if he feels the issue warrants his attention (and if others ask nicely enough). He's passionate about theatre, magicks, good literature and long naps in the park. USEFUL LINKS:Permissions / Inbox / Application
Soul Sight Permissions (fill it out if you'd like to customize how Emet-Selch sees your character's soul)
CR YOU WANT: Friends, acquaintances, and collaborators first and foremost. I'm also open to negative and "it's complicated" varieties of CR. Fortunately he comes from a canonpoint where he doesn't look down on the future denizens of his world, but has quite complicated feelings about his civilization's supposed fate. That being said, he's naturally curious about persons from other worlds and if your character is well-versed in magic or academics, or even just generally pleasant to be around, there's a good chance for some positive CR. He seems to be a magnet for gremlins as well. Also I'd really love for him to meet the people from the IC triple-meme post that spoke to Hythlodaeus pretending to be him and either allow chaos to ensue or see how long it takes everyone to realize this isn't the guy they were talking to at all. CR YOU DON'T WANT: n/a
PLOTTING & PLANS: I'm still a bit backdated at the moment but would love to get involved in others' plots! Emet-Selch is at a place where he has acknowledged the truth about his world's future, but is not quite willing to just sit around and do nothing to prevent it. In that way, he may wish to learn more about other worlds' magic systems, how other people overcame similar calamities, and to join up with others to unravel why The City is the way it is. He finds the lack of live animals and the lack of aether unsettling.
If you're interested in backdated threads, I had a few ideas from past events that I never got around to, particularly from Halloween in which Emet-Selch's costume would have been that of Solus zos Galvus and the ghosts he encountered might seem to him to be the dead spirits of those he'll eventually come to do wrong by in his future.
For something a little less heavy, he (like Hythlodaeus) will be experimenting with more modern clothing (I'm thinking long coats and suit + tie ultimately) and looking to pick up some practical skills since his magic is...less than stellar at the moment. Consider this the in-game version of Custom Deliveries if your character is inclined to introduce a grumpy old man to the wonderful world of City Fashion. HANDWAVED CR: Number one place to find him is one of the parks. He often sits at a bench to read or nap or just to think in peace.
